First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- detecting a query gesture that requests information;
actuating, in response to the query gesture, an actuator to provide tactile feedback that communicates the requested information associated with the query gesture,wherein the query gesture comprises a generally circular path, and wherein the tactile feedback communicates at least one of a first time component that is provided at a first location along the path and a second time component that is provided at a second location along the path.

6. A method of comprising:
-
detecting a query gesture that requests information; actuating, in response to the query gesture, an actuator to provide tactile feedback that communicates the requested information associated with the query gesture, wherein the path of the query gesture extends more than 360 degrees in an angular direction, and wherein the tactile feedback communicates a first time component before the path extends 360 degrees and a second time component after the path extends more than 360 degrees in the angular direction.
